Why so much sickness? A simple answer.

[Woodznutz]

Thanks to bad lifestyle choices, especially diet and medications, our immune systems are in shambles. Worse, the medical community deems illness to be 'normal'.

 

[Oddball]

Excessive focus on symptoms instead of cause.

"Way too much sickness and not enough death".

- Bonzi Harris

 

[EMH]

The consequences of putting Big Government in charge of health care.

Costs go up, quality of service becomes mandated mass murder...

People get sick. Animals get sick. It's life.

Life poorly managed.

Really? Otherwise, you'd live forever?

How about the possibility that the guy who OWNS a high percentage of the shares in many BigPharma companies seems to believe that Americans and Canadians and everybody on earth need to be DEPOPULATED from the six point eight billion of us that were on this third rock back in 2010, down to two or three billion or so?

If you do not immediately know what I mean then simply google the lecture "Innovating to zero" and trace "Malthusianism" back to 1798 when that geneeral idea was elaborated on by Thomas Malthus.

You'd live a good life followed by a good death.

... followed by a good death.

Poor management.

The earth can't sustain the population now without serious damage. If we can increase population while preserving the earth and enjoying a quality life, no problemo. However, I don't believe we can do this.

 

[Woodznutz]

Poor management.

God gave us 70 to 80 years. Anything past that is a gift or the result of good management or dumb luck. Average life spans in the west hovers right around 80 years.

An old gal down the street lost like 80 pounds over a year. She takes a weekly shot. Said it cost her like $1100 a month for 4 shots. Food supply in USA is terrible.

The Earth has survived many cataclysmic events and, as far as we know, there could have been many civilizations we know nothing about. IMO, the Earth will always survive but humans may not. Especially if we stay at a lower than replacement birth rate.

Or there is not more sickness at all, and we just have more access to diagnostic healthcare services.

I think the earth is beginning to seriously reject us.

Sickness and the cost of sickness is increasing and is unsustainable. Soon there will only be two classes of people: healthcare workers, and patients.

Would be higher without so many damn guns

The Earth has always rejected us. Humans have had to fight the Earth just to survive. Luckily, humans have a way of using Earth's resources in novel ways instead of relying on animal instinct.

Humans only occupy a tiny fraction of Earth's surface and comprise an infinitesimal segment of Earth's time line.

More like the medical community~industry deems illness to be a revenue stream.
